NEW!! KNITTING PATTERN -- Top Down Raven Falls Cardigan - P262
After many requests from knitters I have finally completed my popular pattern ‘Raven Falls’ to be worked from the top down. A big thanks to my technical editor and test knitters who made this possible. Converting a bottom up pattern to a top down is not always possible however this did work out a treat!! I do hope those knitters who reached out to me regarding this request, enjoy working with this pattern.
This cute sensation is a must have for any wardrobe. A quick dress me up for any outfit and ideal for
an autumn or spring evening out.
Knitted from the top down with sleeves knitted in the round, so no seaming required. Please note this cardigan has a slightly scooped/low line neckline.
